OR intervention regarding profanation of the Jewish prayer house in Żary
25.06.2010
In connection with the press information that the fascist vandals painted a swastika sign on the building belonging to Lubulskie branch of the Jewish Social and Cultural Society in Poland, we asked the Mayer of Żary, Roman Pogorzelec for the information, if the City Office took care about the removal of writings and repair of damages. We also asked in our letter whether the authorities took steps aimed at preventing manifestations of xenophobia in the future. We also applied to the District Prosecutor in Żary, Barbara Neneman-Szachnowska for an examination whether this act does not exhaust the features of offence pursuant to Article 256 of the Penal Code (propagating fascist and totalitarianism).
